National Fire Prevention Week

National Fire Prevention Week is observed in the United States, during the week in which October 9 falls. In the United States, the first Presidential proclamation of Fire Prevention Week was made in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge.

The Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire. The non-profit NFPA, which has officially sponsored Fire Prevention Week since its inception, selects the annual theme for Fire Prevention Week.
